Modz please Ban UGLI Baby

Cool... So are you for or against Monsanto??

Lulz.

I do think they have some shaky business ethics (but who doesn't?), and I also think that they get a worse rep than they deserve.

Whether we like it or not, GMO's are the future of farming. There does need to be more testing done for human safety, but those types of tests require ~20 years of research. We don't have that time. There's a rapidly growing population, and crops need to be able to yield a certain amount to be able to feed the world. GMO's are a necessary evil that absolutely need to be tested further, but we didn't really have a choice on that one. It is what it is.

I'll also add that some of what Monsanto has done is absolutely revolutionary. By no means should we be taking away from some the stunning research that they are doing. Personally, I think they've done more good than bad, but I suppose that isn't what matters.

I'm kinda in the same boat...

My Boss, head of biology department here at Dixie State University, is a Geneticist and thinks they are the great evil of the world!!! I find it a bit humorous! I understand where he's coming from, but GMOs are the only thing making a dent in world hunger!!!

Your boss is an idiot.

Several of my teachers are some of the leading wheat geneticists in our region, and even they wouldn't say Monsanto is evil. What Monsanto is doing from a research standpoint is incredible IMO.
